Some Experimental and Numerical Studies on Evaluation of Adhesive Bond Integrity of Composites Lap Shear Joints
(2018-03-02)
Adhesive bonding which has been in use for long as a traditional joining method has gained ground in the last couple of decades due to the introduction of advanced composite materials into the aerospace industry. Bonded ...
Vision-based Strategies for Landing of Fixed Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(2018-05-14)
Vision-based conventional landing of a fixed wing UAV is addressed in this thesis. The work includes mathematical modeling, interface to a software for rendering the outside scenery, image processing techniques, control law ...
Hybird Central Solvers for Hyperbolic Conservation Laws
(2018-05-11)
The hyperbolic conservation laws model the phenomena of nonlinear waves including discontinuities. The coupled nonlinear equations representing such conservation laws may lead to discontinuous solutions even for smooth ...
A Ghost Fluid Method for Modelling Liquid Jet Atomization
(2018-05-21)
Liquid jet atomisation has a wide variety of application in areas such as injectors in automobile and launch vehicle combustors, spray painting, ink jet printing etc. Understanding physical mechanisms involved in the primary ...
Effect of a Mesh on Boundary Layer Transition Induced by Free-stream Turbulence and an Isolated Roughness Element
(2018-06-23)
A high level of free-stream turbulence and surface roughness are known to cause breakdown of an otherwise stable laminar flow. In transition induced by free-stream turbulence, streaks are formed due to the lift-up effect ...
Analysis of Unsteady Incompressible Potential Flow Over a Swimming Slender Fish and a Swept Wing Tail
(2018-05-16)
This thesis deals with computing the pressure distribution around a swimming slender fish
and the thrust generated by its flapping motion. The body of the fish is modeled as a missile like slender body to which a tail is ...
Large Eddy Simulation of Free and Impinging Subsonic Jets and their Sound Fields
(2018-02-27)
Evaluating aerodynamic noise from aircraft engines is a design stage process, so that it conform to regulations at airports. Aerodynamic noise is also a principal source of structural vibration and internal noise in ...
Turbulence Modeling for Predicting Flow Separation in Rocket Nozzles
(2018-01-30)
Convergent-Divergent (C-D) nozzles are used in rocket engines to produce thrust as a reaction to the acceleration of hot combustion chamber gases in the opposite direction. To maximize the engine performance at high ...
Modeling and Simulation of Biomolecular Flow in Microchannel
(2018-01-01)
Microfluidics deals with the behavior, control and manipulation of fluids which are confined at micrometer length scale. It has important application in lab-on-a chip technology, micro-propulsion, additive manufacturing, ...
Microgravity Flow Transients in the Context of On-Board Propellant Gauging
(2018-02-15)
It is well known that surface tension of a liquid has a decisive role in flow dynamics and the eventual equilibrium state, especially in confined flows under low gravity conditions and also in free surface flows. One such ...
